I get identical results for those commands. The current status of this bug has changed somewhat. Now all my 12.1 systems except one (lamprey) correctly rotate /var/log/messages. I changed *nothing*. On lamprey, it rotates the "messages" log file, and xz's the previous log file. It restarts syslog, and in fact rsyslogd is running. However, rsyslogd does not write to the new /var/log/messages file. When I login in the morning, /var/log/messages is empty. Zero bytes. I should at least see the messages from when rsyslogd restarted after log rotation. So I do this to get it writing again: cd /etc/init.d ./syslog restart Then rsyslogd writes to /var/log/messages as usual. My configuration also writes remotely to another system. rsyslogd sends messages to the other remote system okay. It just doesn't write to /var/log/messages. Thanks for looking at this. --Carl -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
